The Galapagos yacht M/S Samba is a charming 78 feet steel-hulled motor-sailor built in 1996
in Holland and designed in a classical European style as a private yacht. Sturdy,
stately and very comfortable, she is a great ocean vessel with a specially designed
high bow and a stabilizer sail for smooth Galapagos cruising. The Samba is a more
informal Galapagos boat and the best value making her very suitable for private
groups of casual friends and family. The main salon and aft dining facilities make her
socially versatile while top-side settees for sitting and an ample teak foredeck provide
areas for stargazing, whale-watching or relaxing on deck. She has been touring Galapagos
for many years under the ownership of a local maritime family according to a
long-standing tradition of personal attention, maintenance, and highest regard for
protecting and sharing the natural history of the archipelago. Enjoy delicious
Ecuadorian and international cuisine served in the salon or on deck. The comfortable salon,
library and small bar doubles as an entertainment center and conference room for naturalist
lectures, daily briefings and gathering informally with other passengers.
